Topic: Scotland's Glass (Read 2281 times)

Our database is to big for shared host and the site got suspended yesterday by hosting company! :cry: They put it back on-line after I took the Glass Images section off-line.

Quite apart from needing to near double in size to accomodate all the paperweight images prepared we still have lots more glassware to go in... a pile of Strathearn and the CG glassware to add, Edinburgh Cystal to add, lots of studio work to add.

Please see the announcement on the front page for ways you can help, thank you.

I am hunting for the right hosting options, with help from Anne. But it has gotten extremely complicated marketplace to determine the 'right' solution, not to mention trying to work out how much they are actually charging... then if they are likely to be an improvement on existing service or sufficiently reliable. The solution has to house scotlands glass, colinterris.co.uk glass-study.org and others probably, shortly thereafter.

Hosting is resolved.... but lots of bells and whistles that have to be rung and blown as with all the power comes a whole new level of technical geekery and words that do not seem to mean what you think they ought to ... feels like it is way over my head but hopefully I will be able to find the right combinations of buttons and get the sites up and running soon....

One advantage is that this new hosting can be upgraded if more power is needed... just throw more money at it :24:

Frank, it's scary just thinking about how much needs to be moved over (bearing in mind I couldn't cope when the format of this site changed briefly today ) , never mind having to actually do the work on it :thud:m
